Gianna's eyes were wide with terror.
How could she possibly admit to what she had done?
She had secretly loved the man lying unconscious on the bed for so long, forced to bury her feelings because of her status.
What made it worse—he didn't love her back.
He despised her.
And the more he rejected her, the more desperately she craved him.
But standing here, in front of everyone, if she admitted it now—
she would never be allowed near Everett again.
"It wasn't me… It wasn't me! Sir, I swear, I'm being framed! Please, don't believe them!"
Gianna frantically shook her head, denying everything.
Tobias let out a cold laugh.
"You want us to release the letters you wrote to the young master? The ones from your private email account? You've been obsessed with him for years.
And when he rejected you—you retaliated by poisoning him!"
Tobias, loyal to Everett above all else, no longer cared about sparing Old Mr. Langston's feelings.
